Aw, thanks. I'm sure it will all be fine. If they can get pregnant in the first place then as far as I understand it, everything else with the pregnancy and the birth is usually normal...

Well, I think all the books and all the professionals are spot on actually. They're not all infertile, but almost all of them are. And we've just been really really lucky to get one of the rare ones that isn't. But yes, I'd imagine that if farmers tried to breed from them more often, they'd probably find that every so often they would be lucky too. All the old farmers I spoke to said 'absolutely no chance' and all the vets said 'between 1% and 3% of a chance'. And all the old farmers are now very surprised and eager to see how the calf turns out.

Yup, that's what my boyfriend's dad told me, and he kept a large dairy herd for maybe fifty years.
It's very lucky!
